You've missed the point that a single mike will only capture the sound of the instrument from one angle, and it varies hugely as you go round the instrument. However, the technique can work quite well for some purposes, and is the basis of orchestral sample libraries, after all. A technically refined version can be found for pipe organs - see <http://www.hauptwerk.com/>; but note in this case that there are two distinct ways of using that software, either with stereo (or surround) recordings of each pipe with the acoustic, or with close (dry) recordings played through many speakers in a suitable acoustic. Of course, in this case the aim is not to reproduce the same sounds in the same space, but to have a recorded instrument for use in a different space.
